The main raw material dissolution slurry remains stable
Last week (March 17-23, 2025), the main raw material dissolution pulp market was in a stalemate. As of March 23, the price of domestically produced dissolution pulp was around 7600 yuan/ton, the price of external broad-leaved pulp was around 930 US dollars/ton, and the price of coniferous pulp was around 1030 US dollars/ton. The auxiliary liquid alkali market and sulfuric acid market continue to maintain stable prices, while the cost support for adhesive short fibers remains weak and stable.
Good supply and demand are hard to find
Last week (March 17-23, 2025), the on-site supply gradually increased, and downstream yarns mostly maintained their demand, resulting in poor shipments and low enthusiasm for picking up adhesive short fibers. Some adhesive short fiber factories saw an increase in physical inventory levels, with limited support from the supply side.
The downstream cotton yarn market prices have not changed much. As of now, the price of ring spun human cotton yarn 30S in Jiangsu region is around 17550 yuan/ton. However, due to insufficient orders in the terminal market, the shipment situation of yarn factories is not ideal, and there is still a certain amount of raw material inventory and finished product inventory, resulting in a weak willingness to purchase adhesive short fibers, and it is difficult to find favorable support from the demand side.
Future forecast
From a cost perspective, the main material dissolution slurry market is dominated by consolidation; From the perspective of supply and demand, there may be a slight increase in on-site supply, while industry inventory may remain at normal levels. Downstream markets or consumption of raw material inventory are the main focus, and there has been no significant improvement on the demand side. Overall, the market lacks positive news to boost it. Business analysts predict that there will be little price change in the domestic adhesive short fiber market in the short term, with prices expected to be accepted at 13600-13700 yuan/ton.
